It’s so when the pedestrian or cyclist hits the bonnet the bonnet doesn’t hit the engine, but rather dimples inward absorbing the force - or rather some of it.
Aston Martin, from memory, had to have struts that fired the bonnet upward in the event of a crash in order to meet the pedestrian frontal impact test of the dummy not striking the engine.
